The next session of the Menomonee Falls Police Citizen Academy will commence this September. Our Citizen Police Academy is intended to teach our citizens about police work while building a better rapport with the community. To be clear, the Citizen Academy is not designed as a preparatory class for individuals who wish to become law enforcement officers. Rather, the class is an educational and informative offering for adults who reside or work in our village and desire to learn more about our police department. The Citizen Academy will cover a plethora of subjects including Police Administration, Traffic Enforcement, Crash Investigation, Use of Force, Search & Seizure, Firearms, Tactical Enforcement Unit, Special Investigations Bureau, Drug Enforcement Unit, Neighborhood Watch, Facial Recognition, Analytics & the Future of Policing, Crime Scene Investigations, K9 Unit, Evidence Processing, Civil Disturbance Unit, and much more.
The Citizen Academy begins on Tuesday, September 10th, and will run for 12 weeks. Most classes start at 6 pm and are no longer than 2-3 hours. The final session will include a graduation ceremony featuring the MFPD Honor Guard. If you’re interested in participating, please visit our website to apply online: Citizen Police Academy | Menomonee Falls, WI - Official Website (menomonee-falls.org).
